Chapter 228
"Can Zuo Jinglun really help us?" Wang Xiao asked.
Qian Chengyun twirled his long beard and slowly spit out three words:
"uncertain."
Wang Xiao: "..."
Only then did Qian Chengyun remember that now that he had taken refuge in this attached horse, he should not be too cautious.
"Zuo Jinglun may not be willing to vote, but you must convince him of Fu Ma!"
Wang Xiao was worried that he was playing tricks on himself, and said: "Isn't it the same when His Majesty issued a decree? Who dares not to listen to Your Majesty?"
"Who dares?" Qian Chengyun chuckled and said matter-of-factly: "None of us listen to His Majesty! We are civil servants who govern the country, not His Majesty's eunuch slaves."
Wang Xiao was speechless.
"You still don't understand the affairs of the court..."
The expression on Qian Chengyun's face was quite complicated, an expression that was both 'distressed' and 'flattery'.
"Well, of course, it is rare for Fu Ma to be so talented at such a young age. But it is inevitable that he is still a little unfamiliar... If he had not come to see the official today, I would have been killed by the traitor Wen Bojian. It's a pity.
pity!"
Wang laughed and said: "Stop flattering me and tell me now!"
Qian Chengyun said: "The edict issued by His Majesty himself can only be called an imperial edict; while an edict drawn up by the cabinet and stamped by the Chief of Ceremonies is called an imperial edict. Only an imperial edict can be recognized by the court. Back then, the late emperor wanted to build a palace.
, the cabinet refused to draw up the votes, and the late emperor insisted on issuing the edict. Cai Ying, the Minister of Household Affairs at that time, led the edict to allocate money to purchase materials. Do you know what happened to Cai Ying?"
Wang Xiao asked: "What will happen?"
Qian Chengyun said: "I was beaten to death by hundreds of officials! This has been the trend for two hundred years. Officials are ashamed to follow the Central Order and proud to oppose it. Do you understand? It's a simple truth. Scholar-officials are
We rule the world together with the Emperor and are responsible for all the people. How can we let the Emperor do whatever he wants?!"
The king laughed and said: "Bah, now you are saying that you have responsibilities to all the people. If the country is destroyed, your Majesty will bear all the responsibilities alone."
Qian Chengyun smiled, but it was hard to argue with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao thought for a while, frowned and said: "There is obviously something wrong with your charter, it is so inefficient..."
Qian Chengyun said: "In short, we must convince Zuo Jinglun."
"Why Zuo Jinglun? How to persuade?"
Qian Chengyun took two steps leisurely and said, "Do you know what the three cabinet ministers mean to your majesty? Why can your majesty use them so highly?"
Wang Xiao said impatiently: "Speak carefully and don't keep asking me questions!"
Qian Chengyun had no choice but to say: "Zheng Yuanhua is diligent in his duties and His Majesty cannot do without him, which represents the current situation; Lu Zhengchu understands the Sacred Heart and can accompany the emperor on a southern tour in times of crisis, which represents a retreat; and Zuo Jinglun..."
"Zuo Jinglun has mediocre talents, but he has the ambition to rejuvenate the country. He wants to cut down the vassals and change the laws. He represents your majesty's...ideal."
Wang smiled and said: "But your Majesty has no intention of reusing Zuo Jinglun."
Qian Chengyun said: "Your Majesty doesn't dare. Your Majesty doesn't dare to touch the vassal, so he doesn't dare to use Zuo Jinglun. But your Majesty wants to put him there. Every time you see him, your Majesty will think: If it is a last resort, in the worst case, use Zuo Jinglun."
Economics, at worst, we will break up with those royal dignitaries. Understand..."
He did not dare to ask Wang Xiao, "Do you understand?" He could only cough and said, "Fu Ma must have thought that Zuo Jinglun and Qin Chengye would not deal with each other, right?"
Wang Xiao asked curiously: "Isn't it?"
Qian Chengyun smiled lightly: "If Qin Chengye is not required to defend Liaodong, who can? It's not that Zuo Jinglun doesn't want to deal with Qin Chengye, what he wants is to snatch Qin Chengye away from Lu Zhengchu. For example, in the matter of Liao's salary, Lu Zhengchu raised Liao's salary, Zuo Jinglun
We must object, but if Zuo Jinglun takes charge of Liaodong affairs, he can only raise wages for Qin Chengye, understand... cough."
"Another example is Qin Xuance, the grandson of Qin Chengye. As soon as he entered Beijing, Zuo Jinglun sent people to investigate. At that time, I was still an alliance with him, and it was I who arranged for people to go to Xingwang Gambling House to find out about Qin Xuance. Ha, I didn't expect it.
Later, by some strange combination of circumstances, this kid fell in love with Zuo Jinglun's granddaughter. The two children thought they were keeping secrets from Zuo Jinglun, but they didn't know that Zuo Jinglun saw the whole thing clearly and was just hanging on Qin Xuance..."
"Only by obtaining the support of Qin Chengye can Zuo Jinglun persuade His Majesty to let him reduce the vassal vassal... Therefore, Zuo Jinglun looks down on Lu Zhengchu. I never understood before: why Zuo Jinglun always failed to bring down Lu Zhengchu? In the past few days,
In prison, I figured it out."
Wang Xiao had no choice but to ask again: "Why?"
Qian Chengyun smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "Because Zheng Yuanhua and Lu Zhengchu are actually the same group."
"How is that possible?!" Wang Xiao said in shock: "His Majesty has been using Lu Zhengchu to deal with Zheng Yuanhua, and during the last palace trial, Zheng Yuanhua also stepped on Lu Zhengchu..."
Qian Chengyun sneered and said: "It's just a superficial discord. What you do for His Majesty is also for everyone to see. From this alone, you can see that Zheng Yuanhua has evil intentions!"
"Zheng Yuanhua's great power has long aroused His Majesty's fear, so His Majesty invited Lu Zhengchu to join the cabinet to contain him. Unexpectedly, the two men had already formed a strong political alliance."
Wang Xiao was surprised and said: "Alliance? What are they going to do?"
"For example...the southern tour." Qian Chengyun said: "I have always been surprised. Why did Lu Zhengchu start doing it before His Majesty, who is as shameless as me, has not even asked His Majesty to make the southern tour? The family and the country are still there, how can it be possible for hundreds of officials to do so?
Agree with His Majesty’s southern tour? Without Zheng Yuanhua’s consent, how could Lu Zhengchu rectify the capital camp?”
"But once you figure out that the two of you are in the same party, everything will be easily solved!"
Qian Chengyun became excited and said: "They... they don't want to be escorted by the emperor to the south, they want to be escorted by the prince! Zheng Yuanhua has the intention of regent! In this situation, if the southern tour is discussed, all the officials will definitely oppose it.
, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to tour the south."
"The king cannot move lightly, but the prince can! No one will object to letting the prince patrol the south. And when they get to the south, they have the capital camp under their control, and this useless prince will be controlled by them! They have been planning for a long time.
I'm just waiting to take charge of the court and swallow up half of the country."
Wang Xiao was horrified and shocked.
Only then did he understand why Zuo Jinglun commented that Zheng Yuanhua was like Jia Xu and helped Cao Pi ascend the throne.
But looking at his heart, I'm afraid he looks more like Sima Yi...
But then, Wang Xiao frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "But Lu Cifu may not have this intention, otherwise why would he raise the salary?"
"It's not important." Qian Chengyun said flatly: "Master Ma, this is our opportunity, we are the most loyal to His Majesty! As long as we defeat the Wen family this time, we will have a firm foothold, and we will find another opportunity to defeat Zheng
, Lu Yidang stepped on it hard!"
As Qian Chengyun spoke, his body was trembling slightly.
After he went to jail, when he figured this out, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
Unfortunately, it was too late, he had already lost. He thought he would never return to that court, and could only die lonely with this big conspiracy in mind.
But today, when Wang Xiao steps into this prison cell, everything will be different!
Hahahahaha, hard work, God will not let you down, sleep on the salary and taste the courage, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!
"Master Ma, if you believe me, we will become a very popular minister. You will become His Majesty's confidant, and from then on you will rise to the top. From now on, you will be granted the title of marquis, the title of Duke, and your whole life will be glorious and glorious..."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Ahem, but you have to convince Zuo Jinglun first..."
Qian Duoduo was very happy.
My sweetheart and my father have reconciled.
The two of them were still very close, and they chatted for half an hour and half through the wooden fence.
They also said they were going to "secretly marry a son-in-law", which is really embarrassing and embarrassing...
At this time, she was sitting on a pony with her feet together and her skirt folded on her knees, looking very ladylike. She was holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, staring at Wang Xiao, and felt that her heart was sweeter than the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
The next moment, Wang Xiao coughed and said very seriously: "Old money, come here."
With that said, Wang Xiao helped Qian Duoduo up.
"Come here, give my little flower a good apology..."
